Kids Say the Darnedest Things About Extracurricular Activities

I
mentioned to a middle-schooler that my next lesson was at his hated
rival school, and his response was "Boo!" I reminded him that he would
be uniting with kids from that school as a high-schooler next year, and
besides, all the sports that held pep rallies had already completed
their seasons.

KID I think there should be a pep rally for fencing! ME: Is there even a fencing team here? KID: No, but if there was, I'd be on it. ME: Do you really think anyone would trust 7th and 8th graders with swords? KID: That's why there are tryouts!
